A rematch in name only, Friday’s top-25 showdown in Salt Lake City brings together two teams whose identities have shifted dramatically since BYU edged Wisconsin 91-89 in last season’s NCAA Tournament. The first team-page hyperlinks go here: the BYU Cougars enter at 3-1 after a narrow loss to UConn, while the Wisconsin Badgers come in at 4-0 after a dominant homestand. While both programs return rotation pieces from that March meeting, their early-season trajectories and roster compositions have shifted. BYU has wrapped a talented freshman class around its veteran core, highlighted by star newcomer AJ Dybantsa, who has quickly emerged as a primary option.

Missouri returns to Mizzou Arena with one of the most efficient and explosive offenses in the nation, entering this matchup at 5-0 behind their 91.4 points per game average. The Tigers have been one of the most accurate shooting teams in Division I, ranking near the top nationally in both overall efficiency and perimeter accuracy. This contest against a fast-paced South Dakota squad comes at a point in the season when Missouri is still sharpening its rotation and trying to strengthen defensive consistency.

Rice authored just the second triple-double in program history last week—21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists—in a performance that highlighted his expanded role and playmaking flexibility. Now averaging 18.7 points, 6 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, Rice has become the centerpiece of

The undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes return to Value City Arena seeking to maintain early-season momentum after edging Notre Dame 64-63 in their first Power-Six test. Now they regroup at home against a Western Michigan squad capable of scoring in bunches but still developing consistency. Both teams arrive with contrasting expectations, but the matchup offers meaningful angles for bettors analyzing efficiency, tempo, and roster advantages. Ohio State enters at 4-0, leaning on an elite scoring profile, efficient shooting, and the breakout performances of Bruce Thornton and Christoph Tilly. Thornton continues to drive the offense with downhill decision-making and shot creation, while the addition of Tilly provides the Buckeyes with a late-game scoring alternative in the post. The Buckeyes have opened their
